“Dee Stribling gives voice to ghosts and water birds, old women and crabs, salty winds and herons. She know Carteret County's deep waters and private histories, and how often "the night was long and full of stars." Her photographs make the poems more vivid, plied with meaning. This chapbook is pure treasure, heaved up gently on jade waves to rest in sand.” - Georgann Eubanks, author of Saving the Wild South
